A combination of 3:30, 4:00, and 4:30 starting times for sub-varsity games and the opening of charter schools in previously-closed buildings appear to be the main reasons for a a crunch in filling game assignments here. Anyone who is available for the early games inevitably becomes an assignor's best friend. It's also meant the number of freshman/JV doubleheader assignments has increased. Last year, I think I had more such doubleheaders than the previous five years combined. I even had a doubleheader where the freshman boys played at home followed by the JV girls (with the varsity girls playing after we finished our doubleheader).

At last month's statewide officiating day meeting, it was announced that every association has been asked to add a position to its board with the purpose of recruiting and retaining officials. I'm not sure how this position will work in my association, but - I suppose like everyone else in the state - we'll see what happens.

Same here, both charter schools, and magnet schools. They open up so fast it's hard to keep track. They multiply like rabbits.

It's actually in both the opening and closing of Woody Allen's 1972 film, Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* (*But Were Afraid to Ask).

If you like lots of cute bunnies, or 1920's Cole Porter tunes, or 1970's Woody Allen films, click on the link.

It's not basketball related at all, so if you expect a basketball video, don't click on the link.

This comes from an earlier post where I stated that charter schools, and magnet schools, multiply like rabbits here in Connecticut.

Warning: The song is "catchy", it will stay in your head all day. You've been warned.

Enjoy.
